Heaven's in the Details

Fourth of July
The town watched sparks fly
I was five years old, eight feet tall
On daddy's shoulders I could see it all
Aunt Eileen would never know
That a dog stole her dinner at the fireworks show
And my brothers ran to the water's edge
Tryna smoke twigs like cigarettes

When I'm looking back on memories like that
I know, Heaven's in the details, so don't you close your eyes
All the tiny moments add up to make a life
If you hold on to the little things, they'll keep you satisfied
Heaven's in the details
The devil's in letting them slip by

Your hand in mine
Sunday morning walking through the pines
Birds sang their hymns
Down by the river, we jumped in on a whim
And every time you hold me, darling, it feels holy

Heaven's in the details, so don't you close your eyes
All the tiny moments add up to make a life
Hold on to the little things, they'll keep you satisfied
Heaven's in the details
The devil's in letting them slip by

Now, now, the fear of missing out
Has got me all plugged in, now we're turning each other out
But you remind me what it's all about
With the way you're looking at me right now

When I'm old and gray
Front porch sittin' on a summer's day
You might hear me say
If you pay attention, attention pays

'Cause heaven's in details, it's the ever-changing sky
It's a friend that you can count on in, it's every kiss goodnight
If you hold on to the little things, they'll keep you satisfied
'Cause Heaven's in the details
The devil's in letting them slip by
So don't let them slip by
Don't let them slip by
